TO  OUR  FRIENDS  AND  VISITORS 


/ 


Free  Masons  of  this  country  are  becoming  more 
and  more  awake  to  the  fact  that  a number  of  men 
are  going  from  city  to  city  peddling  what  they  call 
Masonry  to  an  unsuspecting  and  in  many  cases  an 
uneducated  people.  In  all  cases  they  prey  upon  the 
ignorance  of  the  persons  they  gather  in. 

Various  kinds  of  deceptions  are  used.  In  some 
instances  they  tel!  them  that  they  represent  the  regular 
Masons  and  the  reason  it  is  so  cheap  that  there  is  a 
dispensation  on,  and  when  they  are  made  Masons  by 
them  that  they  can  visit  the  regular  Lodges  just  the 
same  as  any  one  else,  and  that  the  regular  Masons  are 
compelled  to  recognize  them.  After  they  succeed  in 
getting  several  of  them  to  believe  the  same  thing,  they 
hire  a hall  or  use  the  rear  part  of  one  of  the  victim’s 
barber  shop,  or  some  small  church  whose  pastor  is 
looking  for  a few  dollars  and  some  cheap  lodge  work, 
they  will  proceed  to  confer  degrees  from  the  first  to 
the  last,  and  then  some,  and  be  able  to  catch  the  last 
midnight  car  out  of  town. 

The  candidate,  after  he  has  paid  his  few  dollars, 
puts  on  his  pin  and  goes  forth.  Very  frequently  he 
encounters  a fairly  well  versed  white  man  who  dis- 
covers that  the  bearer  of  the  square  and  compass  is 
not  a Mason  as  he  understands  a Mason  should  be, 
but  concludes  that  he  is  something  and  passes  on  with- 
out investigating. 

The  professional  peddler  is  usually  a smooth  talker 
and  takes  one  or  two  of  the  leaders  in  a certain  sec- 
tion and  confidences  them  and  seeks  their  aid  in  round- 
ing up  enough  to  furnish  him  a nice  little  bank  roll. 

Once  in  awhile  they  hire  a band  and  have  a 
parade.  This  is  scheme  number  two.  When  they  find 
an  easy  field  they  go  away  and  stay  a few  weeks  or 
a month  and  return  with  a lot  of  printed  documents 
showing  that  they  have  been  given  Supreme  authority 
by  some  so-called  grand  lodge  that  it  takes  three 
months  to  get  a letter  from,  announcing  themselves 
grand  master  of  the  world.  In  other  instances  they 
claim  that  certain  prominent  white  masons  recognize 
them,  a thing  of  such  little  importance  that  white  men 
of  prominence  never  consider.  All  of  these  are  schemes 
to  catch  the  unaware. 

Unfortunately  for  the  good  of  the  community 
they  once  in  a while  catch  a good  man.  but  as  a rule 
the  majority  do  not  represent  the  desired  element,  es- 
pecially for  Freemasonry. 

Colored  Masons  of  Ohio  and  particularly  of  Cin- 
cinnati, realizing  the  needs,  are  seeking  to  do  all  that 
is  in  their  power  to  stem  the  tide  of  these  bogus  prac- 
titioners. 

The  following  is  a copy  or  a portion  of  the  annual 
address  of  Asa  H.  Battin : “Most  Worshipful  Grand 
Master  (white)  of  the  Grand  Lodge  of  Free  and  Ac- 
cepted Masons  of  Ohio  at  the  annual  communication, 
Columbus,  Ohio,  1875.  For  the  benefit  of  those  who 


have  never  read  the  proceedings  of  that  year,  or  ‘Negro 
Masonry  in  Equity,’  by  Sir  Samuel  W.  Clark,  of  this 
city,  or  ‘New  Day  and  New  Duty,’  by  John  D.  Cald- 
well. also  of  this  city,  we  are  republishing  that  part 
of  that  famous  address  and  the  report  of  the  special 
committee  whose  wisdom  and  integrity  has  never  been 
questioned;  that  he  who  reads  may  judge  for  himself 
who  legitimate  Masons  are,  and  their  right  to  be  recog- 
nized as  such.  We  are  thus  preserving  the  Ancient 
Land  Marks  of  Masonry  and  are  transmitting  its 
light  to  those  who  are  found  worthy.” 

An  investigation  of  these  spurious  venders  of 
masonry  will  prove  one  or  two  things,  that  they  are 
either  expelled  from  some  legitimate  lodge,  or  they 
have  descended  from  that  source. 

A Portion  of  the  Annual  Address  of  Grand  Master 
Battin — 1875 

For  nearly  a . century  there  has  existed  in  this 
country  an  organized  body  of  men  who  are  generally 
known  as  “Colored  Masons.”  They  claim  to  be  in 
possession  of  the  same  secrets  with  us ; that  the  prin- 
ciples and  objects  of  their  organization  are  identical 
with  ours;  that  they  derive  their  authority  from  legal 
sources,  and  are  in  every  sense  of  the  term  legal 
Masons. 

For  many  years  they  have  been  seeking  recognition 
at  the  hands  of  their  sister  Grand  Lodges ; and  while 
hut  making  little  progress  in  our  own  country  their 
claims  have  been  recognized  by  Grand  Lodges  in  other 
jurisdictions.  The  Lmited  Grand  Lodges  of  Masons 
of  Germany  at  their  meeting  in  Darmstadt  in  the  month 
of  May  last,  adopted  the  following  resolutions: 

"With  regards  to  the  motion  made  by  the  Grand 
Lodge  ‘Prince  Hall'  (Massachusetts),  and  the  Grand 
Lodge  of  Ohio,  (Colored),  the  convention  of  Grand 
Lodges  declares  that  these  Grand  Lodges  appear 
properly  constituted,  and  that  the  German  Lodges  will 
accord  the  members  of  those  Lodges  and  their  sister 
Lodges,  without  reserve  and  joyfully,  acceptance  into 
their  Lodges.” 

It  will  thus  be  seen  that  the  Colored  Masons  of 
America  are  securing  that  recognition  abroad,  which 
is  denied  them  at  home ; and  it  seems  to  me.  that  upon 
the  anniversary  of  our  nation’s  birth,  that  the  time  has 
come  when  it  is  not  only  proper  but  right  that  we 
should  take  some  definite  and  decisive  action  in  good 
faith  to  ascertain  the  actual  status  of  these  organi- 
zations. I have  not  had  time  nor  opportunity  to  ex- 
amine the  question  as  I should  have  done,  owing  to 
the  long  illness  of  my  father,  to  whom  I devoted  my 
whole  time  for  weeks  in  August  and  September ; but 
it  is  very  apparent  to  every  one.  either  that  they  are 
Masons  or  they  are  not.  If  they  are  such,  the  fact 
can  he  readily  ascertained;  if  they  are  not  it  can  as 
easily  be  determined. 


3 


If  they  are  possessed  of  the  same  knowledge  which 
we  claim,  then  the  legality  of  their  organizations  be- 
come involved ; and  here  the  question  arises  that  can 
probably  never  be  settled  in  a manner  entirely  satis- 
factorily to  the  Masonic  world.  But  what  ever  may 
have  been  their  origin,  their  existence  is  undisputed  ; 
their  Grand  and  subordinate  lodge  are  in  our  midst. 
They  are  recognized  as  Masons  by  Grand  Bodges  of 
respectability  abroad;  they  are  asking  recognition  at 
the  hands  of  Grand  Lodges  in  America,  and  the  ques- 
tion must  be  met  by  us.  Brethren,  why  should  we 
longer  defer  it?  Shall  it  be  because  his  skin  is  not 


Swamps  of  Carolina,  the  Plains  of  Hindoostan,  the 
Sands  of  Arabia,  the  Snow  Capped  Summits  of  Nor- 
way, the  Emerald  Isle,  the  Sunny  Fields  of  France,  or 
from  whatever  nation  or  clime  he  may  have  traveled, 
if  he  is  a Mason  and  can  prove  himself  such,  he 
should  be  welcomed  as  a man  and  a brother  into  our 
Lodges  and  entitled  to  equal  rights  in  our  great 
brotherhood. 

The  boast  of  Masons  has  been  that  its  votaries 
possess  the  same  mystic  language  in  every  clime,  that 
its  language  is  universal,  entitled  to  resognition  where- 
ever  heard  or  manifested,  and  that  all  Masons,  in  the 


CAESAR  R.  BLAKE 
Imperial  Potentate,  A.  E.  A.  O.  N. 


colored  like  our  own  we  shall  spurn  the  Colored 
Mason  with  contempt?  Or  shall  we  not  rather  ex- 
amine into  the  condition  of  the  organization  of  which 
he  is  a member  and  in  which  he  has  received  light, 
with  a view  to  effecting  a complete  union  of  the 
Masonic  family  in  our  country,  when  each  may  recog- 
nize the  other  as  a brother,  traveling  the  same  great 
highway  of  life  to  a common  destiny?  I am  aware 
of  tne  prejudice  against  the  African  race.  I am  not 
entirely  free  from  it  myself.  We  all  have  our  pas- 
sions and  prejudices,  and  we  should  use  our  utmost 
endeavors  to  keep  them  within  due  bounds.  But 
whether  he  comes  from  the  jungles  of  Africa,  the 


character  of  Masons  stand  upon  the  most  perfect 
equality.  At  present  in  our  own  country  we  can  not 
recognize  Masons  receiving  light  in  Colored  Lodges. 
We  are  presented  in  our  own  state  with  the  anomaly 
of  two  Grand  Lodges,  each  with  a great  number  of 
Subordinate  Lodges,  all  teaching  the  same  great  truths, 
speaking  the  same  language,  and  yet  the  one  not  per- 
mitted to  recognize  the  other,  and  all  intercourse  be- 
tween the  two  prohibited. 

In  this  great  Centennial  year  whilst  liberty  and 
equality  are  shed  abroad  through  our  great  nation, 
is  it  not  right  and  proper  that  we,  as  Masons,  shall 
at  least  attempt  to  bring  about  by  proper  means  and 


4 


in  a legal  manner,  a union  of  these  two  Grand  Lodges 
in  one  state?  If  there  is  any  illegality  in  the  organi- 
zation of  either  let  it  be  healed.  It  has  been  done 
before  and  it  can  be  again.  Let  us,  then,  with  that 
charity  and  liberality  which  characterizes  all  Masons, 
extend  the  fraternal  hand  of  fellowship  to  our  brethren 
of  every  nation,  clime,  race  and  kindred  under  heaven. 
And  let  it  be,  too,  not  only  in  name,  but  in  spirit  and 
in  truth.  Let  us  illustrate  our  teachings  by  example, 
and  as  the  crowning  glory  of  Republican  Government 
is  the  equality  of  all  men  before  the  law,  so  the  crown- 
ing glory  of  our  mystic  temple  be  the  equality  of  all 
men  without  regard  to  race  or  previous  condition. 
Brethren,  this  question  must  be  met.  We  may,  for 
the  present,  pass  by  on  the  other  side.  \\  e may  look 
upon  it,  fold  our  mantles  around  us,  and  pass  on ; 
hut  the  good  Samaritan  is  coming,  has  come  and  is 
pouring  the  oil  of  fellowship  into  the  wounds,  binding 
up  the  bruises  and  taking  the  sufferers  to  his  own 
house.  ' 

Why  should  we  longer  delay?  I am  vain  enough 
to  believe  that  we  are  capable  of  meeting  it  fairly.  I 
have  faith  in  our  people.  I have  faith  in  their  sense 
of  justice  and  magnanimity.  I can  not  believe  that 
many  years  can  elapse  before  the  great  body  of  Colored 
Masons  will  be  recognized  as  a part  of  the  great 
Masonic  family  and  accorded  their  rights  as  such.  I 
have  candidly  expressed  by  opinion,  and  I leave  the 
matter  to  you  for  your  consideration,  earnestly  hop- 
ing that  you  may  have  wisdom  to  devise  some  means 
by  which  the  Masons  of  Ohio  may  be  united  into  one 
family  and  brotherly  love  prevail.  If  within  the  great 
centennial  year  this  result  can  be  accomplished  or 
measures  taken  looking  to  such  result,  we  shall  have 
reason  to  rejoice  that  the  march  of  progress  is  on- 
ward and  upward  and  the  universal  brotherhood  of 
man  on  the  western  continent,  fully,  fairly,  and  un- 
changeably established,  and  the  world  made  better  b) 
our  example.” 

This  part  of  the  Grand  Master’s  address  was  re- 
ferred to  the  following  (committe,  special),  Lucius 
V.  Bierce,  Past  Grand  Master,  Enoch  T.  Carson,  of 
Cincinnati;  Ferdinand  Willmer,  Louis  H.  Pike  and 
Charles  A.  Woodward  who  succeeded  Mr.  Asa  H. 
Battin  as  Grand  Master. 


Their  Report  Read  as  Follows: 

Your  committee  to  whom  was  referred  so  much 
of  the  annual  address  of  the  Most  Worshipful,  and 
accompanying  documents,  as  relates  to  the  so-called 
Colored  Lodges,  and  more  especially  the  Colored  Grand 
Lodge  of  Free  and  Accepted  Masons  of  the  State 
of  Ohio,  have  given  the  subject  careful  consideration, 
and  respectfully  submit  the  following: 

Y\  e do  not  propose,  nor  do  we  deem  it  necessary 
at  this  time,  to  enter  into  the  history  of  the  origin 
of  so-called  Colored  Freemasonry  in  this  country.  That 
subject  has  been  fully  discussed  in  nearly  all  the  Grand 
Lodges  and  Masonic  periodicals  of  this  country  for 
more  than  twenty-five  years  past. 

Your  committee  deems  it  sufficient  to  say  that  they 
are  satisfied  beyond  all  question  that  Colored  Free- 
masonry had  a legitimate  beginning  in  this  country, 
as  much  so  as  any  other  Freemasonry;  in  fact,  it  came 
from  the  same  source. 

Your  committee  will  not  attempt,  at  this  time,  to 
investigate  as  to  the  transmission  of  this  legitimate 
beginning  down  to  the  present  time,  when  we  find 
more  than  fortv  Subordinate  Lodges  and  a Grand 
Lodge  of  so-called  Colored  Freemasons,  and  an  aggre- 
gate of  more  than  eight  hundred  members  in  the  State 
of  Ohio. 

Your  committee  has  only  to  say  that  such  is  the 
fact. 

Your  committee  has  the  most  satisfactory  and 
conclusive  evidence  that  these  Colored  Freemasons 
practice  the  very  same  rites  and  ceremonies,  and  have 
substantially  the  same  esoteric  or  secret  modes  of 
recognition  as  are  practiced  by  ourselves  and  by  the 
universal  family  of  Freemasons  throughout  the  world. 

The  question  of  the  recognition  of  these  Colored 
Freemasons  has  long  been  before  this  Grand  body, 
and  your  committee  feels  that  its  importance  is  press- 
ing upon  us,  and  demanding  prompt,  serious,  and 
decided  action.

History  of  Sinai  Temple  No.  59,  N.  M.  S. 

By  FRANK  BROWN,  Illustrious  Potentate 


This  Temple  was  instituted  in  March  29,  1913,  by 
Noble  John  H.  Murphy,  Sr.  From  that  time  up  to 
October,  1915,  there  was  very  little  known  and  a very 
little  attention  given  to  this  Temple  by  the  craft  in 
this  Oasis.  At  the  session  of  the  Imperial  Council 
held  in  Indianapolis,  August  1913,  Sinai  Temple  was 
granted  its  charter.  The  charter  remained  in  the 
hand  of  Noble  J.  R.  Jackson  for  two  or  three  vears. 
until  Noble  G.  YV.  McKoin,  the  Imperial  Potentate, 
in  October.  1915,  authorized  Noble  Frank  Brown  to 
organize  Sinai  Temple  into  an  active  body,  at  the 
first  opportunity. 

There  was  a special  session  of  Sinai  Temple  called 
by  Noble  Jackson  who  had  preferred  charges  against 
Noble  Brown  to  expel  or  suspend  him  from  the  order 
on  the  account  of  his  activeness  in  trying  to  take 
Sinai  Temple  off  of  paper  and  making  a real  temple 
out  of  it. 

The  following  Nobles  attended  the  special  session : 
J.  R.  Jackson,  Illustrious  Potentate;  C.  A.  Farmer; 
P.  S.  Jones,  Assistant  Rabban ; Jos.  L.  Jones;  C.  S. 
Williams  and  Frank  Brown,  total  six.  This  was  the 
largest  session  that  I had  ever  attended  at  Sinai 
Temple  notwithstanding  being  a member  about  three 
years.  When  I received  the  order  by  communication 
there  were  four  Nobles  present,  J.  R.  Jackson,  Illus- 
trious Potentate;  William  Copeland,  P.  S.  Jones  and 
J.  E.  Jackson.  By  the  authority  given  me  by  the 
Imperial  Potentate  I was  able  to  take  the  advantage 
of  the  session  that  called  to  suspend  me,  and  induce 
the  Nobles  present  to  hold  an  election  of  officers  in 
order  that  new  life  may  be  injected  in  the  order.  After 
much  discussion  Noble  Jackson  agreed  with  us  to 
hold  an  election,  this  being  the  first  election  ever  held 
since  the  temple  was  instituted.  The  following  officers 
were  elected  for  the  ensuing  term:  Jos.  L.  Jones,  Illus- 
trious Potentate;  C.  A.  Farmer,  Chief  Rabban;  Frank- 
Brown,  Assistant  Rabban:  C.  S.  Williams,  High  Priest 
and  Prophet;  P.  S.  Jones,  Illustrious  Recorder  and 
J.  R.  Jackson,  Treasurer. 

At  our  session  held  in  November,  1915,  seventeen 
applications  were  received  for  the  order.  Noble  Jones 
served  at  Potentate  two  years  and  three  months. 
At  the  annual  session  held  December,  1917,  Noble 
Frank  Brown  was  elected  Illustrious  Potentate.  At 
this  time  the  temple  had  grown  to  the  numerical 
strength  of  forty-five  members.  When  Noble  Jones 
took  over  the  temple  there  were  no  record  books  or 
money,  nor  any  thing  else  belonging  to  the  temple 
that  were  turned  over  to  Noble  Jones  since  1917,  with 
a membership  of  forty -five.  We  now  have  a member- 
ship of  one  hundred  and  thirty-four  and  a large  class 
now  awaiting  the  order  at  our  next  ceremonial  session. 

We  the  Nobles  of  Sinai  Temple  are  in  debt  of 
gratitude  to  Noble  G.  W.  McKoin,  through  him  we 
were  with  the  help  of  God  able  to  place  our  Temple 
upon  the  map  of  Shrinedom,  and  now  we  are  highly 
honored  by  the  Imperial  Council  in  holding  its  Twenty- 
first  Annual  Session  in  the  Oasis  of  Cincinnati,  August 
22  to  27,  1920.

A SAFE  INVESTMENT  WITH  SATISFACTORY  EARNINGS 
WITHOUT  RISK  OR  SPECULATION 

The  Best  Investment  on  Earth  Is  Earth 


INCOMES  ARE  CREATED  BY  SAFE  INVESMENTS 
NOT  BY  SPECULATION.  People  who  are  building  up 
substantial  incomes  are  those  who  put  their  money  where 
it  is  safe,  where  the  income  is  liberal,  plus  rapid  increase 
in  value,  and  where  they  have  a mortgage  on  the  full  earn- 
ing power. 

There  is  no  investment  safer — none  so  sure  to  enrich  its 
owner — none  so  abiding  as  UNIMPROVED  REAL  ESTATE 
in  a growing  community.  When  you  buy  land  you  are  ex- 
changing your  money  for  the  most  certain  thing  in  the  world. 
The  element  of  speculation  is  almost  entirely  removed.  Good 
agricultural  land  is  the  foundation  of  all  lasting  prosperity. 
"THERE  IS  NO  SUCH  SAVINGS  BANK  ANYWHERE/' 

An  Unparalled  Opportunity  in  Cherry  Grove  Awaits  You 

An  opportunity  to  insure  yourself  against  want  and  poverty 
for  all  time  to  come.  An  opportunity  to  lay  the  foundation 
for  the  ownership  an  income  producing  estate,  ideally  located 
and  adapted  to  the  growth  of  FRUIT  and  GENERAL  FARM- 
ING in  one  of  the  most  fertile — the  most  healthful — and  the 
most  delightful  sections  of  the  entire  country. 

An  opportunity  to  secure  an  ORCHARD  HOME  in  the 


land  of  SUPERIOR  FRUIT  and  flowers— of  beautiful 
LAKES  and  streams — and  blessed  with  every  gift  that  boun- 
tiful nature  can  bestow. 

The  Plan  Is  a New  One 

We  clear  the  land  and  plant  a shade  tree  in  front  of  each 
estate  and  FIVE  cherry  trees,  TWO  apple  trees  and  ONE 
HUNDRED  AND  FIFTY  strawberry  plants  on  back,  and 
cultivate  the  trees  and  plants  for  a period  of  four  years 
without  extra  cost  to  you  or  inconvenience  on  your  part 
while  you  continue  your  present  occupation.  After  develop- 
ment we  continue  to  cultivate  your  estate  for  you  for  a small 
per  cent  of  the  net  profits. 

You  Are  Independent  Yet  You  Profit  By  Organization  and 
Co-operation 

The  cost  of  a Cherry  Grove  Estate  is  only  $54.50 — $5.00 
down — $3.00  per  month.  Size,  30x  144  feet.  No  interest. 
Warranty  deed.  MONEY  BACK  GUARANTEE.  OUR 
FREE  DESCRIPTIVE  BOOKLET,  “THE  GARDEN  OF 
OPPORTUNITY"  TELLS  ALL.
